Looks slick for how quickly it was built. I was surprised by the download size and RAM footprint, but... if it was easy to do cross-platform, I'm thinking this is still ahead of electron on footprint? Or at least competitive. Interesting!
A lot of the ram usage is actually coming from the wgpu backend. You can use ICED_BACKEND=tiny-skia to try software rendering and the footprint should be a lot smaller.
The footprint should be very consistent throughout the lifecycle of the app. Message history is pretty small and we only keep opened buffers in memory. Everything else is flushed to disk.
Now compared to Electron, there is no comparison for speed and responsiveness
